Hi Mont my understanding now (after taking some advice) is that the cost base of your dart shares will be a proportion of the cost of your arrow shares eg if the value of AOE and Dart (around now ) was $5 & $1 then DTE is worth 1/6 or about 16% of the whole deal That proportion gets translated back to when you bought them to establish the cost base for both So if you paid $1 for the AOE a few years ago then the cost base for CGT would be AOE = 83c and DTE = 16c roughly Hence when you sell the DTE shares down the track you might have a pretty hefty bill (which was my concern) In other words the CGT relief just lets you defer paying it till you sell the Dart shares
Any way thats my understanding and I could be completely wrong so dont take it as financial advice
Im happy to stand corrected
Any chance of another buyer appearing? lol
